Episode 77: Disruptive Feedback2018-02-18 21:05:26A supermassive blackhole at the centre of a galaxy can cause the gas that falls into it to glow SO BRIGHT that it stops the creation of new stars. What? How?
it's called a quasar. It's called an Active Galactic Nucleus. It's called a good time.
Courtney Brooke Davis is here to ask the questions!
Dr. Victoria Scowcroft and Dr. Carolin Villforth are here to give the answers!
and I'm here to talk about pudding.

Episode 76: All that Glitters2017-12-17 22:59:21NEUTRON STARS SMASH TOGETHER IN SPACE!
Announcing the return of the A Team!
Jocelyn Read! David Tsang!
joining us today the comedian Charlie Demers!
Episode 76!
This episode is gold.
specifically, it's about neutrons stars MASHING TOGETHER in the depths of space!

Episode 75: The Undeniable Outward Push2017-11-12 23:59:15OLD FRIENDS AND NEW VARIATIONS!
Hanalore Gurling-Dunsmore!
Dr. James Sylvester!
and our guest Zach Weinersmith!
(Zach and his wife Kelly just wrote an amazing book!)
we're going to talk about Supernovas (type 2). How a perfectly ordinary gigantic star can just one day decide to EXPLOOODDE.
today's episode is amazing. It brings together a lot of things we have talked about in other episodes!

Episode 73: An Episode with Glass2017-07-10 15:30:18A touch of Glass! Dr. Jane Cook and Dr. Jessica Rimsza are here to talk with Bobak Ferdowsi about glass. We talk about what glass is, and how it forms, and what makes it glassy, and where to find it, and so many more things! FASCINATING!

Episode 72: Moonquake2017-04-30 22:40:57Dr. Briony Horgan and Dr. Meg Rosenburg are here to explain that the moon is actually shrinking. It's getting smaller. And we know that it is because we have been studying it. Today's guest is Eric Molinsky, host of the "Imaginary Worlds" podcast.

Episode 71: Neutriyes or NeutriNO2017-03-19 20:43:47I'm gonna give it to you straight: we make beams of neutrinos. Neutrinos are particles that barely touch anything as they pass through everything. Ken Clark and Tia Michelli are back and this episode is awesome. neutrino beams: why would we make them? how do we make them? our guest is the host of the FOO SHOW: Will Smith!

Episode 70: Muon, science cat, muon2017-01-15 22:14:52Muons are very small fundamental particles that are much heavier than they should be. they fall apart pretty quickly, but they rain down on us. It's magical. Today's physicists are Ryan Martin, the particle physicist; and Diana Cowern, host of the "Physics Girl" youtube channel. Our Guest this time is Sarah Gailey, the author!

Episode 68: The Shadows of Creation2016-11-06 20:49:16This episode is about the The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect, where photons from the big bang are used to backlight giant galaxy clusters! My Physicists this episode are Dr. Michael Zemcov, and Dr. Danica Marsden. Our guest this time is TED LEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO! THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND!

Episode 67: A Phonon Call2016-10-01 00:32:41A phonon.. that's not a spelling mistake... is a quantum of vibration. it's a particle... that lives as a vibration in a crystal. and it's bananas!!! Doctors Fiona Burnell and Darren Peets have joined me to try to explain this all to Megan and Anthony Leon.

Episode 66: Life On Mars2016-07-20 13:40:23There are astrophysicists who study life on mars. specifically, the prospects of detecting life on mars. Zach Weinersmith Joins Catherine Neish and Briony Horgan and we talk about LIFE ON MARSSSSS!!!

Episode 65: New Ways of Looking2016-05-22 18:07:41How does a camera work? no, a digital camera, I mean. yeah... yeah.. optics. I know all about lenses. how does the plate at the back.. the one the photons hit.. how does it turn photons into electronic signals that turn into digital information? we're talking: CCDs,CMOS cameras, MKIDs, and superconducting bolometers! Dr. Danica Marsden and Dr. Suresh Sivanandam are here, and our guest today is award winning author Elizabeth Bear!

Episode 63: Worldbuilding2016-03-25 00:30:17Patrick Mchale makes his triumphant return to the show!
Astrophysicists Catherine Neish and Brian Jackson explain how planets form around stars, and why the planets we see around other stars are so weird.

Episode 62: Black Bells2016-01-31 21:34:51Did you know that if something falls into a black hole it will "ring" like a bell, radiating gravitational waves at a very specific frequency. pretty fun! Brent Knopf and Matt Sheehy are back! Two new physicists: Leo Stein and Chiara Mingarelli!
fun times!

Episode 61: Levitating Trains2016-01-17 22:38:52*sorry about the audio quality**one guy was in china, and my mic broke and all sorts of bad stuff happened. :(*OH MAN!!!Erika Ensign, from all the dr. who podcasts, has come on our showso that Darren Peets and Abby Shockley and I can do our best to explain how
VORTICES enable MAGNETIC PINNING in TYPE 2 SUPERCONDUCTORS.
rad.

Episode 60: Meters Of Interference2015-12-16 00:58:26Radio telescopes have really crummy resolution.but if we line them up and hook them together,
using a technique called "radio interferometry"
we can see the head of a screw 300 km away.
This episode, our guest is Ben Acker, one of the authors of "the thrilling adventure hour". amazing!
Our Physicists are Rupinder Brar and Sabrina Stierwalt!
exciting!

Episode 59: Strange Truth and Charming Beauty2015-11-30 22:09:29There is no force stronger.
Gravity? get out.
Electrostatics? no.
Love? incorrect.
THE STRONG FORCE!
Tia Miceli! Ken Clark! AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST RYAN NORTH!!!!
this is a really fun episode where we talk about how protons are made of quarks stuck together with gluons. so much fun.

Episode 58: Extraordinary Evidence2015-10-24 22:41:39The Big bang.
How do we know it happened? How do we know what happened?Dr. Michael Zemcov and Dr. Katie Mack and I talk to the clever hosts of Encyclopedia Brunch. It's Tim Dobbs and Kathryn Cogert! WHAT FUN!

Episode 57: Two Photons Walk Into An H Bar2015-09-17 22:36:26BIOPHYSICS! Nicole Prent! Jacqueline Townsend! Broadway actor Brian Cross joins us to talk about how biophysicists use frequency doubling of photons To LOOK INSIDE CELLS! well, it's really cool I can't wait for you to hear it!

Episode 56: What "In Tangles" Meant2015-06-07 12:43:04Oh boy it's been a while since we got an episode scheduled, recorded, edited and out the door. but the wait has been worth it because THIS EPISDE IS AMAZING!
Dan Harmon (From Channel 101, The Sarah Silverman Show, Monster House, COMMUNITY!, Harmontown (the podcast), Harmontown (the documentary about the podcast), and Rick and Morty) joins us!
Physicist Katherine Brown RETURNS! and Ken Clark is flying shotgun!TODAYS EPISODE TOPIC: QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT.
this is a lovely episode and i am prouder than punch to present it to you.

Question Barn 82015-05-17 22:17:20Ken Clark Joins me!
we answer Ramiro's question, who asked
"I have heard that bosons are the force carriers. So what force is the higgs boson "carrying" ?"

#514 Arctic Energy (Rebroadcast)This week we're looking at how alternative energy works in the arctic. We speak to Louie Azzolini and Linda Todd from the Arctic Energy Alliance, a non-profit helping communities reduce their energy usage and transition to more affordable and sustainable forms of energy. And the lessons they're learning along the way can help those of us further south.
